Known for his remarkable career at Belenenses and his role in the 1966 World Cup, he was revered for his defensive skills and sportsmanship. Lucas&#8217;s legacy includes a notable match against Brazil where he famously marked Pel\u00e9, earning him a place in football history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique. <\/strong> <\/span>Vicente Lucas, a true legend of Mozambican and Portuguese football history, died this Wednesday, 14 April. He was 90 years old. The information was released by the Belenenses club, which remembers its former player as \u201ca good, simple, modest and affable man\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was to this day Belenenses\u2019 greatest living figure, a legend not only of our club but of Portuguese and world football\u201d, highlights Belenenses in a statement released on social media. It emphasizes that Vicente Lucas, Matateu\u2019s brother \u2013 also a former club player \u2013 was recognized \u201cfor his sporting spirit, correctness, nobility of character and football value\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Mozambique on September 24, 1935, Vicente Lucas arrived at Belenenses at the age of 18, having participated in the 1966 World Cup with the Portuguese national team\u2019s shirt in the team that became known as \u2018Magric\u0327os\u2019 which included figures such as Euse\u0301bio and Ma\u0301rio Coluna, both Mozambican too.<\/p>\n<p>The club remembers him as the \u201cman who dried Pele\u0301\u201d [o homem que secou o Pele\u0301] in a Portugal-Brazil match in that same World Cup, where the Portuguese national team came in third place.<\/p>\n<p>A 20-time Portuguese international, Vicente Lucas had a Portuguese Cup on his CV, won in 1960 by the Restelo club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth at Belenenses and in the Portuguese national team, he commanded general admiration and consideration\u201d, says the club, recalling the 12 seasons in which he was at the service of the Restelo emblem, totalling 284 official meetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn elegant player with fine technique and impeccable positional sense, he began his career as an attacking midfielder \u2014 scoring the winning goal against FC Porto on his official debut \u2014 before moving into more defensive roles, where he earned greater acclaim. His unusual ability to mark opponents and anticipate play made the phrase often shouted during matches, \u201cCut Vicente!\u201d \/ \u201cCorta Vicente!\u201d, popular, reads the note from Belenenses.<\/p>\n<p>In solidarity following the passing of this exceptional figure, the Portuguese Football Federation has ordered a minute\u2019s silence at all matches under its jurisdiction until Sunday, 19 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>O Homem que secou Pele\u0301. \ud83d\udc99#tweetpastel pic.twitter.com\/9BSi7Huhl2<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Os Belenenses (@CFosBelenenses) April 15, 2026<\/p>\n<p>On Vicente lucas\u2019 90th anniversary, this text was widely circulated on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Today marks 90 years since the birth of the man who neutralised Pele\u0301 and a historic figure of Belenenses. Who remembers watching Vicente Lucas play?<\/p>\n<p>Younger brother of Matateu, Vicente Lucas was a central defender born in Mozambique who broke into the Belenenses first team in the 1954\u201355 season and remained there until he retired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in Africa and I was 17 when I received a letter from him saying that Belenenses was interested in me. I thought it was a Belenenses club in Lourenc\u0327o Marques (Maputo), but no, it was the one in Lisbon. One day Ame\u0301rico Toma\u0301s (then president of Belenenses, who would later become President of the Portuguese Republic) went there, together with captain Soares da Cunha, who was a director of Belenenses and would later be responsible for the construction of the Restelo Stadium. After hearing people say \u2018the guy is good\u2019, they brought me to Lisbon. Just like that, without paying or asking permission from the club I was playing for. They gave 30 contos to my mother, a fortune at the time, told me to be ready on day X and go to the ship to come to Lisbon. I barely said goodbye to my family. I went with one of my older brothers. The ship was full, and there were five of us in a cabin, but I made it to Lisbon. Matateu was waiting for me. He was a good brother, full of joy, the joker in the dressing room,\u201d he recalled to Dia\u0301rio de Noti\u0301cias in August 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBelenenses played at the Sale\u0301sias and had the only grass pitch in Lisbon, and I was used to playing on dirt pitches, barefoot or in boots. I had to adapt to playing on a soft pitch and wearing boots. Even so, Riera saw me training with my brother and said \u2018the guy is good, he\u2019s staying\u2019. If it hadn\u2019t been for him I would have been sent back on the same ship that brought me to Lisbon. The ball was still hard. I used to finish matches with a headache&#8230;,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In 12 years wearing the blue shirt, between 1954 and 1966, he made a total of 286 appearances (all as a starter, as substitutions did not exist) and scored 12 goals in the top division, winning the Portuguese Cup in 1959\u201360 and helping the club finish second in 1954\u201355 and third on four occasions (1955\u201356, 1956\u201357, 1958\u201359 and 1959\u201360).<\/p>\n<p>He also earned 20 caps for the Portugal national team, becoming famous for shutting down Pele\u0301 in a match against Brazil at the 1966 World Cup, a tournament in which Portugal finished third.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ended my career without receiving a single yellow card in 11 years. Then I became \u2018Corta Vicente\u2019. At the time, football was king on the radio. In commentary, when describing one of my moves, it was always the same: \u2018Corta, Vicente.\u2019 Even today it is a fond way of remembering the player I was. If you tackle or take the ball from Pele\u0301, your career is made, but I was more than that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1981\u201382 season, he briefly coached Belenenses in a few matches during a campaign marked by the club\u2019s first-ever relegation.<\/p>\n<p>Vicente Lucas was born in Mozambique in 1935 and became a prominent figure in Portuguese football after joining Belenenses at 18. His career spanned over a decade, during which he made significant contributions to the club and the national team, including a memorable performance at the 1966 World Cup. Lucas&#8217;s ability to neutralize star players like Pele\u0301 solidified his reputation as a top defender in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>His journey from Mozambique to Lisbon reflects the historical ties between the two regions, particularly in sports. Lucas&#8217;s legacy continues to inspire many in Mozambique and Portugal, highlighting the impact of African players in European football. His passing marks the end of an era<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know Vicente Lucas, a celebrated Mozambican footballer, passed away at 90.
